La Casa Encantada - Show # 13 - Jan. 24 2014 - Of Cabbages and Kings


The Haunted House (La Casa Encantada) is a music show on KUSF.org radio in San Francisco (Fridays at 3:00 PM PST on kusf.org or on itunes>radio>college>kusf).
This is the 13th show, aired Jan. 24th 2014, and we celebrated the works of Lewis Carroll with a hodge podge and a hotchpotch of a show. A verituous gallimaufry in which we had everything from Doo-wop to Italo-Disco made in France and all you can think of in between (that's THREE prepositions ending ONE sentence).
Frumious Mambo, Uffish Folk, manxome Afrobeat, plus elephants and monkees, cabbages and kings, pawns and roots, rooks, Reggae... From a Flamenco singer born in 1878, such as Manuel Torre, to Italo-Disco from the 1980s: more than a century of songs covered in one hour!  
Donovan, the Incredible String Band, Dylan, Captain Beefheart, T Rex, Pérez Prado, Mohamed Rafi and Asha Bhosle, Smiley Lewis, Magazine 60 and Fela Kuti are some of the artists that we had in this show, with music about going through the looking-glass, the Jabberwocky, the Mad Hatter, and all the pieces of chess from the Pawn to the Queen, and two different endings!
